Where is CalMac’s sense of humanity?

Sir,

I recently had a cataract operation in Glasgow. All was going well until the fourth day when I developed a relatively urgent situation whereby the eye pressure was building up and I needed to get back to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley within a few hours.

CalMac would not fit my car on to the next ferry as there was no room. I explained that it was a medical emergency and I needed to go right then.

I understand that if it was life-threatening, I could have got an air ambulance to Glasgow. However, it was not life-threatening, but I could have lost an eye.

Luckily, we managed to get off the island on the Lochaline ferry and made it to Glasgow in time.

Is CalMac so motivated by all this money it is earning lately that it has lost sight of the humanitarian needs of its passengers ? Hazel Morris,
